The power pack was purchased at Canadian Tire which is a national auto parts / sporting goods / home improvement type of store. I know they are not in the USA however I am sure that there are other brands available down there. Stanley tools makes a couple of which they sell up here as both Stanley branded and also as the Canadian Tire Eliminator brand. As for this particular model, I am not sure who makes it but Doug is probably right.
Thank you. I can actually buy that very same model from the Canadian Tire website. Which I might do. Despite having a generator that I can literally plug into my home, I do feel there is a bit of a gap in my "energy plan." Whichever model or make I find for my sister and her husband I might also pick one up for myself.
That gap in time I hope to fill with a battery pack, RV solar cell and an an inverter. Our local Wal-Mart has a nice selection of RV and Boat 12 volt products that I often see as being easily adaptable to what I have in mind.
Thanks guys. We've added one to our shopping list. Sandy was a just a little bump here, but with a nor'easter about to arrive (we're already below freezing here) and what looks to be a wintery winter on the horizon, we're not going to wait for Christmas shopping time for this one.
Sandy was a good wake up call in this house. The only part of our preps that I think we failed on was heat. (ok, we're not ready for a flood either, but given our location, a weather related flood is highly unlikely.) If we had lost power and it had gotten cold like they were predicting... I'm a little overly protective of the nest and brod these days, but we've gotten a little complacent the last few years.
